Just one exclamation point is good.

11 How to Use “October"

B: When you hear the word "October", what kind of events do you think of?

A: Halloween.

You are right that some people just say one-word answers, but others might repeat the whole phrase with their answer (ex. When I hear the word "October" I think of Halloween.) Or they just say "I think of Halloween" if they're being informal.

And my birthday, haha.

B: Oh, what is the date?

12 How to Use “November"

B: When you hear the word "November", of what are you reminded of?

A: I guess there aren't many events in November in JapanNot many events in Japan take place during November.

Your original sentence was right, but here's a more natural way of saying it.

What about your country?

Can also say "How about your country?".
Also, you can add "in" right before "your", but that's if you want to speak/type more formal and grammatically correct. Though many people say "What about your country?".

13 How to Use “December"

B: When you hear the word, "December," what kind of events do you think of?

A: December has a lot of events.

The first thingones that come to mind are Christmas and the end of the year.

"Ones" works better in this context

14 How to Use “Chicken"

I'm such a chicken.

I love chickens and I also love eating chicken.

I'm a man of contradictions.

15 How to Use “Cow"

Cows are so cute, right?

I've never milked a cow.

16 How to Use “Elephant"

I want to ride oan elephants.

I think you meant just riding on one elephant, since that is more common.

They say you can hang from an elephant's trunk.

Hey.,

I think you accidentally typed a period.

Tthere is an elephant in the room.”

Since the previous sentence starts with a comma, I made the "T" lowercase.

17 How to Use “Fox"

Foxes are so cute, but they have an awful lot of dangerous germs, so don't touch ithem.

You stated "foxes" at the start, so should be "them", not "it"

I heard that you can sometimes see foxes in Hokkaido.

18 How to Use “Ear"

Are you the type of person who likes to plan out your trip, or the type of person who wants to play it by ear?

I might be wrong since I never heard this expression before, but the one I've always heard was "or the type of person who lets it play out".

My boss’s words go in my ear and out the other.

From what I found on the internet, it looks like you don't need to add an extra s in this circumstance.

Your ears are beautifully shaped.

19 How to Use “Frog"

Frogs have pretty faces when you look closely.

20 How to Use “Lion"

Lions are a catpart of the felidae family.
